Short Read of the Week for May 6, 2021

Our first-choice article in this morning's Short Read of the Week meeting was on a theme we first noticed this week in Edward Stratton’s excellent May 3 article on the North Coast labor shortage in the Daily Astorian, but we ultimately chose to recommend an article by our State Representative David Gomberg in The Lincoln City News Guard as the one thing every Tillamook County Democrat should read if you don’t read anything else this week:

Gomberg: Help Wanted Hurts Everyone

Our second choice was the May 3rd edition of Robert Hubbell’s daily newsletter, which forcefully explains why county party organizations like ours must take every election seriously, never to sit on the sidelines:

Slouching Toward Authoritarianism

Please share these articles widely. And please join us next week!
